In 1493, upon Columbus's return to the island of La Española, he found Fort Navidad destroyed and without survivors. This event marks the beginning of a story where figures such as the Columbus family, Juan de la Cosa, Captain Ojeda, the Niños, the Pinzones, Ponce de León, Bartolomé de las Casas, Ovando, Núñez de Balboa, and Vespucci converge, along with the caciques Guacanagarí and Caonabo, and the tragic Anacaona. Characters such as Cortés, Pizarro, and Alvarado also appear, as well as the cabin boys Trifoncillo and Alonso, the tavern keeper Escabeche and his wife Triana, and even the dogs Becerrillo and Leoncico. All of them share the same moment and place, participating in battles or sharing moments. La Española became the starting point towards glory and gold in America, the first city with paved streets, the first cathedral, and the scene of the first clashes and miscegenation that would define the future of Hispanic America.
